Hi-Run Trailer Tires Made In China. Are They Any Good?

[trailbuilder]

I am searching for replacement tires for my gn dually 25k trailer. It has providers 4 yrs old and I am starting to get blow outs. Research shows all load range e tires are made off seas, China,Japan,and Thailand seem to be the favorites. Even goodyears 14 ply $300+ tires appear to come from off shore.
I am looking at a maxis tire or provider' any suggestions from users?

we've had good luck with mais but those were load range c tires, had awful luck with carlisle tires. normally we use load range e light truck tires on the heavier trailers

I buy about 10 sets of trailer tires a year. Greenball and Maxxis are by far the best.

Hi-runs have been okay for me. I usually don't get to were them out on my GN. Normally I'll hit a pothole and break a cord and then blow the tires.

It looks like Greenball is coming out with a new 12 ply tire load rating F.
Thank you for the tip!��

I have Kumo 16" LT's on my GN and have had no issues and I haul heavy all the time. 85PSI and balanced.

I went with Chris's recommendation on Greenball, and have been happy with them. I hear good things about Maxxis, but haven't had a chance to try them yet. My application was an old travel trailer.

If I was setting up a heavy float trailer today, if I could physically fit LT's on, that's probably what I'd pick.

Due to the wonderful labor situation and tree huggers in this country, aren't most tires now made offshore anyway?????
